Identifying little cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
One year on.. She's now a lone cichlid in a 65gl. That's cos at 6.5" she's no lady, rather a MMA exponent. ? Any idea to liven things up in the tank?

With larger cichlids, I've had luck adding fish that are too big to be eaten but small enough not to be seen as a threat. I agree with the above that mollies and swordtails may be worth a try. With plenty of hiding places to retest to, I've also done well adding a female convict to the tanks of larger cichlids.

I think you're right. The aggression does seem to be towards fish that are 4.5" or more. ?
